To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Justice is the rule of these virtues, as of all else. " No virtue," he says, " in whatever sense we take the word, can dispense with justice ; and I no more value those who do great deeds, at the expense of justice than I do poets who fancy that they can produce great beauties by imagination without being true to nature.* What, then, is the foundation, what, then, is the essence of justice ? On this point I cannot see, as has been attempted to show, that Turgot's view ever materially changed. T...o Condorcet he writes: — "I do not believe that morality in itself can ever be local. Its principles are everywhere founded on the nature of man and on his relations with his fellows, which do not vary except in very extraordinary circumstances. But the judgment to be pronounced on the actions of individuals is a problem much more complicated, and infinitely variable, taking into account local opinions and the prejudices of education.
In morals, I am a great enemy to indifference, and a great friend to indulgence, of which I have often as great need as any other man.
